LOUISVILLE, NY, June 22-Tc Ken
tucEy's Shame in the IdRlass county %
Rowan was this morning enacted what
will beyond all doubt prove the final
chapter of the bloodiest mountain ven
delta known to the history Of the state
The illumination was rescued ia the
tragic death Of four desperate men
who forfeit their lives while re
sisting mandates of the law. After
the destruction of thousand of dollars
worth of property, and up TO this writing
the loss Of twenty-one lives, Rowan
county can now return TO peace and
prosperity. Craig TOlliyer. the famous
desperate, was probably the immediate
cause OF outraged law being indicated
To-day's good work ends the succession
Of tragedies that have been enacted In
that county since the beginning Of the
Martm-TolliTer faud not quite two years
ago. The result of which, mp II date,
has been tie sending Of tweutv-Cne souls
ISTo ETERNITY.
The manning aud Gripping for life Of al
lesst g score more of persons, the de-
struCtiOn IF al social relations of nearly
the entire 5u.in ss interests Of the
county End the bringing about
OF state Of laTlessnesz and
terrorism that have driven good
men with their families from their homes
and friends 10 seek new homes 2 other
parts of the country where they might
live without being ia constant fear Of
their lives. The election of 1854 iGaugu-
rated it. After heated contest CooB
Humphreys was elected Sheriff Of Rowan
county Oy f0rty-seven majority over Sam
Goodwin. During the canvass many
animositieS We're engendered, the Mar
tins allylng themselves with the Hum
phreys' and the TollIvers wit Good
wins cause. Craig Tollyer, the leader Of
the latter faction. whose name IN Kentucky
bQ &C IN e.
of Jesse James 10 Missouri several years
ago, swore' after tae election that Hum
Phreys should never ride in R0 Ysn
county as Sheriff. Since that time
